Who knew all of this went on? I sure didn\u2019t. Gaga played the hell out of Lady of the House, Italian socialite\u00a0Patrizia Reggiani, an outsider who marries into the House of Gucci when she weds\u00a0Maurizio Gucci\u00a0(<strong>Adam Driver<\/strong>), the grandson of designer and Gucci patriarch Guccio Gucci. The film is based on Sara Gay Forden\u2019s 2001 novel,\u00a0<em>The House of Gucci: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour, and Greed<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I love Adam Driver and he also did not disappoint portraying Gucci family attorney Mauricio, who at first glance appears meek, nerdy and gullible.&nbsp; No one sees him as a threat or a contender for control of the house until Patrizia plants the idea in his head. Patritzia, a daughter with mob family ties, marries into the Gucci family and brings a cut-throat mob mindset to the table where no woman has sat.&nbsp; She has her eye on the prize, taking over the House, from the day she met Maurizio at a party. Knowing exactly who he was from day one, and setting her strategy in motion on day two.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The film is outrageous, dramatic and funny. The real-life saga plays out with more drama than Dynasty or Dallas. Directed by Ridley Scott, the all-star cast are all on their \u201cA\u201d game. Guccio Gucci\u2019s sons, Aldo and Rodolfo (the oldest), are played by <strong>Al Pacino<\/strong>, and <strong>Jeremy Irons<\/strong>, respectively. Cousin and hopeful designer and heir Paolo is played by an unrecognizable <strong>Jared Leto<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fighting within the family, fueled in part by Patrizia, goes on for decades getting more intense by the year with lawsuits and backstabbing. The drama spans from the 1970\u2019s, when Patrizia and Mauricio get married, through the 80s and into the Tom Ford era of the 90s. The cinematography of the film takes center stage as does the music and fashion from each decade. Each piece of music selected, you can tell, was carefully picked to represent each decade. Every piece of Gaga\u2019s wardrobe throughout the film is to die for and just as carefully selected. The male character\u2019s suits are also fierce, including Jared Leto\u2019s character\u2019s whacky but stylish corduroy\u2019s and 80s sweat suits.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/2021\/07\/house-of-gucci-trailer-starring-lady-gaga-adam-driver-jared-leto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>House of Gucci<\/em> <\/a>follows Patrizia and Maurizio&#8217;s romance, relationship and failed marriage and ultimately ends with Patrizia murdering her husband in a last-ditch act of greed and revenge. Maurizio was shot dead in front of his office in Italy on March 27, 1995. Patrizia was subsequently arrested and convicted for the murder in 1997.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve seen footage of interviews with Patrizia Gucci and Gaga nailed her to a T. <strong>Salma Hayek<\/strong> also stars as Patrizia\u2019s eccentric friend\/psychic. The film is in theaters now, just in time to contend for the 2022\u00a0<em>Oscars<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 302 461'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Gucci-image.jpg\" alt=\"Film Review: 'House of Gucci'\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-158257\" width=\"302\" height=\"461\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Director:<\/strong>&nbsp;Ridley Scott<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Screenplay:<\/strong>&nbsp;Becky Johnston and Roberto Bentivegna<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Story:&nbsp;<\/strong>Becky Johnston<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Based on the Book:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cThe House of Gucci\u201d by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saragayforden.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sara Gay Forden<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Producers:<\/strong>&nbsp;Ridley Scott, p.g.a., Giannina Scott, p.g.a., Kevin J.
